Best Answer

Rockets ignite propellants to produce thrust. Thrust is the physical force generated by the rocket's engines burning fuel and is required to overcome the effect of gravity. When designing rockets, engineers determine the mass of the rocket to determine how much force gravity exerts on it. Then, the thrust force generated by the rapidly burning propellant must accelerate the rocket to escape velocity (where thrust is greater than gravitational pull on the mass of the rocket)

How does single stage rockets get payload back to earth?

Single-stage rockets can't make it into space, so many of them come back down to earth when they reach a certain height. This is why most single stage rockets carry missiles, so when they fall down again, they cause massive damage to their target.


Why do rockets have potential energy?

Rockets in flight have kinetic energy. Rockets with remaining fuel have chemical energy. Rockets still able to fall back to Earth have potential energy.


What are some of the jobs rockets have done in the past?

Rockets have sent unmanned spacecraft to mars and Jupiter. Satellites put in orbit by rockets beam back information about earth's atmosphere and weather.


Will dinoaurs come back to earth?

Sadly, no. Dinosaurs are distinct so they will not come back to earth.


Do rockets drop trajectories or satellites?

A trajectory is the path a rocket takes, it is not a thing that can be dropped. Further rockets are used to "launch" a satellite into orbit, not drop it (so that it falls back to Earth).


Why do ghosts come back on earth?

Are there rockets in space that will never return to earth?

Why do rockets use thrust?

Rockets use thrust to overcome the force of Earth's gravity.


Do some rocket parts come off when the go it to space?

Yes, the booster rockets. This usually happens after their fuel has been spent, and they merely drop back to earth and land in the ocean where they are retrieved and used again for another flight.
